Unlike in most traditional RPGs, most of the Player Characters in a Pokemon Campaign are expected to be Human. In unusual circumstances, one or more party members might be a Pokemon, but this is the exception and not the rule. All Humans start with the following traits:

Talents

These are nowhere near complete, but I'm posting what I have finished by popular request: Class Talents
Some of these are original, some of them are based on d20 Modern Talents, and some are just Pokemon techniques that fit the class.

Occupations

Each Human player begins the game with a starting occupation that determines part of their back-story and focus, as well as what talents are available to them. Some occupations have additional requirements, such as a specific alignment or minimum age.Starting Equipment: All characters are assumed to begin play with a Pokedex, 1000Pen, an adventurer's kit, 6 Poke Balls, and 2 Potions, in addition to one of the starter Pokemon native to their region. In exceptional circumstances, other starter Pokemon may be available.

Upon reaching 11th level, each Human may enter an advanced occupation from any of those in this chapter. Nearly all careers have additional requirements, such as a specific alignment or minimum ability scores. They continue to gain talents and bonus feats normally.

Destiny

Upon reaching 21th level, each Human may choose from any of those available to them. Nearly all destinies have additional requirements, such as a specific alignment or minimum ability scores. They continue to gain talents and bonus feats normally.
